In a further effort to provide Healthy Connections members with comprehensive and coordinated care, the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) is currently preparing to include all outpatient and Rehabilitative Behavioral Health Services (RBHS) in the Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) core benefit package. Providers wishing to continue to provide outpatient and RBHS must attend one of the trainings listed below. While all providers are welcome to attend, these trainings will focus on private and public providers currently providing Community Support Services and other outpatient mental health services. These trainings will inform providers on how to contract and provide these services within a Medicaid managed care program.

SCDHHS will host both a morning (10 a.m.) and afternoon (1 p.m.) training at each location. It is expected the training will last approximately two hours. Providers only need to register for one session. The same information will be presented at each meeting and location. Providers may find directions and register for the training at http://medicaidelearning.com/or call the SCDHHS Medicaid Provider Service Center at 1 (888) 289-0709 and press option ‘1’ for the support center.

It is extremely important for you to attend one of these trainings so you are aware of the impending changes to the Medicaid program. Failure to attend this training may result in enrollment issues, payment delays and/or authorization denials.

Thank you for your continued support of the South Carolina Healthy Connections Medicaid program.

SCDHHS highly values the safety of beneficiaries’ personal information and does not call beneficiaries asking for personal information such as their social security number. Beneficiaries should never give out their social security number or other personal information to anyone they have not contacted. If they do receive a suspicious call, they should contact local law enforcement immediately.
